Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial diversity of soda lakes.
TL;DR: Although present-day soda lakes are geologically quite recent, they have probably existed since archaean times, permitting the evolution of independent communities of alkaliphiles since an early period in the Earth's history.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic diversity of soda lake alkaliphiles
TL;DR: Alkaliphilic Archaea were relatively closely related to members of the genera Natronococcus and Natronobacterium, and an anaerobic, thermophilic isolate has been assigned to a new genus within the Thermotogales.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alkaliphiles: Ecology, diversity and applications
TL;DR: Alkaliphilic microorganisms have already made a large impact in the application of biotechnology for the manufacture of mass market consumer products, and it is reasonable to suppose that soda lakes (and other alkaline environments) will yield a wealth of new organisms with useful commercial properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thioalkalimicrobium aerophilum gen. nov., sp. nov. and Thioalkalimicrobium sibericum sp. nov., and Thioalkalivibrio versutus gen. nov., sp. nov., Thioalkalivibrio nitratis sp. nov. and Thioalkalivibrio denitrificans sp. nov., novel obligately alkaliphilic and obligately chemolithoautotrophic sulfur-oxidizing bacteria from soda lakes

TL;DR: Thioalkalivibrio was not related to any known chemolithoautotrophic taxa, but was distantly associated with anaerobic purple sulfur bacteria of the genus Ectothiorhodospira, forming a new alkaliphilic lineage in this cluster.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diversity of Kenyan soda lake alkaliphiles assessed by molecular methods
TL;DR: Phylogenetic analysis of the sequenced amplicons indicated that sequences were related to the haloarchaeal, Bacillus/Clostridium, Rhodobacterium/Thioalcalovibrio/ Methylobacter, and Cytophaga/Flavob bacteria/Bacteroides groups and the enterobacteria/Aeromonas/Vibrio part of the γ3 subdivision of the Proteobacteria.
